Open Concept Kitchen In Townhouse

As is common with townhomes, this one had a โ€œstackedโ€ feel, with a more narrow footprint and four levels.ย  Despite the layout, the homeowners wanted a more open feel and worked with Normandy Designer John Long to achieve their goal.ย  โ€œThe first request of the homeowners was to tear down the wall between the kitchen and dining area, which was key to accomplishing the open concept they wanted,โ€ says John.ย  โ€œOnce it was determined the wall needed to go, the new layout of theย kitchenย started to take form.โ€

โ€œThe homeowners wanted the new design to have a transitional aesthetic, while still captivating the more traditional aesthetic of theย Chicago neighborhoodย they live in,โ€ commented John. โ€œThose prerequisites led to choosing traditional cherry cabinetry, keeping minimal contrast in the space, and incorporating transitional spherical and cylindrical accents in tile and lighting that provide a fresh edge.โ€
